im with u on that, lets build him.

Thank you for your good heart, hope all goes well and keep us updated for the young people to learn. Be blessed
God bless you ndoda yamadoda
May Allah bless you. Thank you
This guy helped me when I was looking for a job in malville, He directed me to the right place because that same day I got a job
Did you render a token of appreciation to him afterwards?
@@brianndlovu1173 good question
On behalf of that man I am happy for & let's pray together for all the dreams of this man to come true🙏

I was with him yesterday at campus Square I showed him this interview he was so happy
BONGA 👌
Thnx a lot fo doing tht👍
Bonga I respect you Boss
This guy was born for TV and radio. Everything about him is too royal, premium. The voice, intellect, personality, presence, etc.
True my thought at first 🥇
.
True
He can make a very good president
Too much... This guy could be the next star of Mzansi...
Do we understand that there are people who attend varsity to learn what Bonga is naturally talented at? God is just so amazing 💚
You can say that again BONGA he is very intelligent 😉
Indeed
I attended at UJ. Bonga was a brother of myself when I was there. He would call me vetis. There was a time when he was not in the streets I was so worried what could have happened to him. He made our University life a breeze. We knew he would protect us from people who may rob or take our things while walking to KFC or MacD at night time. This man is a blessing. Every UJ student knows this wonderful person, God bless him more
Which year was this?
oww maan this is so heartwarming. i hope he gets the kindness returned to him
True I know him.
wow! i take back everything i said about him but still i don't think he's smart.
Mazwifhi 😅
Left school at grade 9 but could help a varsity student with Taxation module!!! Bonga is really gifted, lord help him.
My surprise exactly. Super natural intellect.
@@thatosenious3468 imagine
😂😂😂
😂😂😂 cabanga such a thick textbook in 4 days
I must say I'm guilty of judging people on the street. Largely because of the paras that terrorise people. This guy has taught me to look deep before judging.
I judge people living in the streets too and i must say and apologise because i judged him too. It is because i have a cousin who’s a street kid because of him not wanting to be guarded neh...
And the paras are so clean, look at the people who mug in CBD.
@@sfundothathokuhle1718 no
You're actually not guilty for judging anyone, because no matter how hard the situation may be you always have another choice.
I'm from Kenya sincerely speaking this guy has big minds may the almighty God open the doors for u 🙏
Bonga❤️ So glad I got to hear his full story. I remember when I lived on Richmond Avenue post my varsity days, and he'd sleep outside our yard, not too far from my bedroom window, he prayed every night out loud, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want..." and he'd recite Psalm 23 with so much conviction. He'd page through his books and you'd hear the book pages flipping. I prayed for him everyday and I still believe his story will change. Thanks for bringing us Bonga, who to most of us, feels like a brother🤍
Woooow I'm touched
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😓
😭😭😭Yhoooo these accounts are bringing tears to my eyes. Guys wenzeni umntana wabantu!!!???
😭😭 God,please let this be his break through, let this interview be his door to better and greater things in life. Bonga has suffered and God sekwanele,he's a great man,sale umphumelelisa emphilweni Thixo,wamupha ingcondvo njena kunengi lokuhle latokwentela nalasentele labanengi. Muphe imphumelelo Mvelinchanti uyayidizeva,uyayidzinga 😭🕯👏🏾
South Africa cannot lose such an intelligent person to the streets 😢. I hope someone can lend a hand to help him get on his feet and excel!
May bless him
@@samuelmafa8557 w
This gentleman here needs our help, he's too good to be left out there on the street. I love your brother. 🇳🇬
Someone with millions should just get this guy a podcast studio and see what will happen.
True
I met him at Campus square. He is very brilliant and respect. Sometimes I give him what I have. I love him. May God bless him.
So true. Voice overs or something @TraceAfrica where are you?
God's timing is perfect. Very bright guy, please let us know how we can assist him please
They shuts stingy 😊
This dude's voice belongs on radio ❤️
Hope this gets likes
He is so much in a public figure. I'm afraid we might limit him if we name positions. He is bigger than a position.
I met him last year dude is very well spoken
100%
Where in radio?
Please respect people's professions yoh ha.a
This guy will not be in the street for much longer. Great interview, thanks Nkululeko.
Podcasts are really shining light in corners hey!
Unfortunately he's been 1 for almost a decade now, but hopefully the spotlight changes things.
he still on the street
@@mrbrooks56 Really??
@@craigdavidson1493 Yes
Oh Bonga. The way I smiled when I saw this face because he was like our big brother in the streets of UJ more than 10 years ago. Lord knows every time I walked from UJ campus to campus square and saw him, I felt a little more safe. He was truly our guardian angel and so intelligent. May God bless him abundantly. Thank you Bonga for being there, we SEE you!!
I can relate...same story here...the guy was so cool during our UJ days...
Bongez boi tjooo you so increreble
I am not South African but the truth is I have been moved beyond words by this guy. I would say this is the best interview I have watched all year. Please South Africa, I hope there is someone, anyone to uplift the life of this guy. He certainly deserves to be where is was created to be. I hope some day I will see another interview were BONGA turned out to be the best version of his former shadow self. God bless you Bonga, you are my hero!
Moving story Broe Bonga,loving his English ascent
Moving story Broe Bonga,loving his English ascent
It's like you took all these words out of my mouth!! I am with you 100%
From now on Bongas life will never be the same. I pray Amen.
GET THIS GUY ON RADIO SOMEONE. SA is sleeping on this talent. 🇿🇼🇬🇧🇿🇦
I agree
Big up to the interviewer for humbleness and a smooth interview
Nkululeko the way you ask questions? First class 👏🏾
right?! 🙌
Remember how scared I was of Bonga when I went to UJ but one day he helped me to carry my groceries from pic n pay campus square to res… when he spoke to me I felt a sense of calm and understanding especially when he mentioned that he came from Rustenburg, ever since then he became such an interesting character, a person whom came with a purpose but the world never understood him.
dude i am out here wondering where i saw him and at some point i was scared of him till he found me smoke weed at some corner and i was shocked at his speech, he told me this story but i thought he was and person but i spoke to him proper
ruclips.net/video/ktQ15M69lYU/видео.html SA RUclipsR//Asking strangers funny questions//Funny reactions//Im leaving South Africa 😂
I always see him aroumd i stay in Auckland Park amd i am also from Rustenburg...Wow May God bless him♥️
@@puseletsoleseba8965
That's a exactly what he does together with one other guy who moves between Bramfontein and Auckland Park. I like them so much. While some others try to intimidate you they are very accommodating
Nkululeko can you make Bonga Sithole a friend of the show please, believe me you he will be a great addition to your team.
Am from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪 and i saw this guy in tiktok. I really liked how he speaks and expresses himself. Much love to u all.
This guy gave me an advice that if ever I want to increase my vocabulary - be eloquent, I should read books. He had books where he used to sleep most of the time.
He's an amazing person
This guy is truly amazing and it's never too late for one's life to do 360 turn.
This guy can actually kill the acting scene. I wish SABC gives him a chance to showcase his talent.
That time the robots he’s at is 5 min away from SABC - crazy huh
@@storchcebek1702 bro I always see him when I go to campus. He literally stay near UJ entrance next to campus square.
I agree with you on acting part

💯💯
I like how nkululeko knows when there’s there’s someone smarter than him and he’s not afraid to voice it out
That's crazy bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That is the ultimate wisdom
Thats maturity.
He is a wise man.
These man is from were plzz ..am from kenya
May this interview open great doors for Bongz. I believe this is his season of redemption 🎉
I am not South African and have never been in South Africa but I found myself being drawn to this interview. This guy is very intelligent and very humble. I like the way he still found a way to praise God despite his circumstances. I pray for God to protect him and give him everything he wishes for. I wish him all the best.
Hi, Where are you from?
This guy has the voice & charisma for broadcasting. Hopefully someone can pick up on the talent and turn it into a sustainable career
most definitely
Nkululeko must be the one who polish this guy, I can listen to him all day.
radio personal and voice overs for advertisement's..
my sentiments exactly at first audio
Mei bra sad story but like you say there is a stellar persona for the limelight in this guys soul and voice …if you can help Malinga then this guy deserves one
I'm glad this guy is finally getting the recognition that he deserves...I wish him well in all aspects of his life
Best interview in 2022.
This guy's English is top notch..better than most of us,his use of big words is so correct..wow may Allah bless him
This guy is very intelligent, I pray that his life turns around for the better after this interview.
And you can see he doesn't smoke this nyaope rubbish
@@lillianletlaka5868 he said he used to smoke heroin, heroin ke nyaope.

I find this guy super intelligent for many reasons, but mainly because this guy lives in the streets, yet he seems more happier than a whole lot of people I know who are staying in big houses. May the grace locates him, there is so much in this guy and he is definitely destined for greatness
He is happy because his free🙏 His not restricted to a job or commitments that drains alot of people🙌
@@dollydo1001 No his not do you know how much dirt and ungodly things they see and encounter
@@m.m5241 makes them less fearfull then us I suppose, In my opinion living and seeing these things makes one more powerful.
@@dollydo1001 did you not hear him talk about his experience in jail. I know people who live that that,it leaves a stain on you
@@m.m5241 I guess it does
What a troubled childhood. Yet such a gifted man. Mothers need to really be careful who they introduce into their children's lives.
Truth, it's sad that her lover did not love her entirely including her child
Facts sisi
😢😭 That's true
Very true! And men need to be responsible people aswell.
So true! Women need to focus more on raising their children than chasing love from men who don't love them.
Wow wow wow 😳😣 my heart melt I'm not from SA but I'm from Namibia 🇳🇦 a neighboring country seeing this man is like hearing the voice of God I know very soon and very soon he will shine ☺️☺️
This is proof that Gods timing is never wrong. When Gods grace locates you no other man can denie it. I pray that this guy fulfills his dream. That this podcast reaches the funders and the investors.
Well put Phindile...God's timing is everything...i can attest to that... if something is yours its God's givin..
Amen
Absolutely
Ameeeeeeeeen
Bra Nkululeko for bringing Bonga on the show...Bonga was robbed of everything he deserves in life but thank God his brain and the Intellec is superb...
When I was still using public transport, Bonga was in our taxi from the cbd, he’s so breathtaking and so eloquent and kind. I’m even shocked now to hear that he didn’t even finish high school, wow this is proof that it’s not education that makes brilliant people. All the best Bonga. We love you guy, all the best dear brother 🙏🏽❤️🥰
He's intelligent and funny as well 🤣
Thanks for bringing story to us. It was worth it and we pray and believe for a breakthrough for Bonga Sithole.
Bonga has a PhD in the School/University of life which outweighs the importance of the schooling system by a landslide because of this he will achieve greatness in life
Bongz told me that he is busy writing a book about his life. He laughs everytime i asked about it 😂 good man
We are all wonderfully and fearfully made in His image. Thank you Bonga Sithole for reminding us once again about the human basics. Let love lead!
Never judge a person until they share their story. This is the most painful story that no child deserve to go through
and im waiting to share my story too one day
Wow💕🙏
Hello nkululeko I'm karabo a recovering addict ye nyaope I'm interested in coming to chat to you hoping to touch people currently suffering from addiction I've survived 16 of addiction and stayed on the street also survived prison. Currently working in a rehab but I was hoping my story could turn lives
Keep praying 🙏 God is with you
Amen God bless you
God bless you Kaybee ❤
I can already see a film about his childhood, intellectual, love and street life. That would be very inspirational. God Bless Bonga.🙏
Nkululeko's ability to tell a story by simply asking questions is amasing
The way he just defined God is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Yerr this guy's English is clean AF! He is so articulate in how he speaks,it's brilliant!🔥😤
Finally we get to hear him speak. The dictionary is in the house.
Hes well spoken.
Hes well spoken indeed
When he narrated the father's story you could tell that his death affected him big time.
You can tell that he's still trying to heal, there was a moment of silence there...
@@sinethembangwenya8092 yaaa i saw that☹
He helped an lot in Chemical Pathology during my UJ hey days...if there's an account please do drop it here...will personally sponsor academical fees...BONGA as he used to say
What I’ve learned from Bonga, “we must embrace each other”.
People don't know how much verbal abuse can do to a person. Happy for you boy. The support you will get its a blessings.
I actually met this guy while sitting etaxini, eBree and just hearing him speak while he was asking for money, got my attention. He is very articulate and a areare talent and I couldn't understand why he is homeless - from face value of course. I'm glad someone gave him a platform to share his story. Thank you Nkululeko - big ups for finding him
Met this guy back in 2019 when I'd travel from Bree to Cresta. We had such a great conversation and that's when I realized how smart this guy is. Can never forget his laugh, so contagious. Big ups Bongz!!!
Wamthanda
His smile is contagious. Every time he smiles I smile too.
it's how your voices almost match....This is too much.Grootman your ability to interview is unmatched.You make listening a skill worth being practiced.....🙏🙌🙌🧘
His life will never be the same again. From now on mercy and grace will follow him throughout his life. Thank you for such a great interview.
Why am i crying. 😭🙈.....You are such a blessing Bonga.... Your journey is about to change😭😭🙏🏽
Nkululeko's natural talent is asking the right questions ,at the right time and intuitive
His timing is on another level.
Yhooo this guy is well spoken, well mannered 👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼, uhleli & uphilile! uThixo amgcine & ambusise😢
Wow this guy is brilliant
...Watched this video to the last note, downloaded it and I'm keeping it on my PC. He's so confident. Intelligent , diverse native, ambitious, distant for success, profound, pure talent. infact. Radio needs this.
Bonga is one of many intellectuals that are scattered around S.A. townships with sad stories that prevented them from succeeding in life.Thank you for sharing bongs story I hope he is assisted by talent scout to find his calling.
This guy is a force Wow
This brother could be amongst the best voice actors in our country.
Wow this man is too intelligent, may the universe conspires in his favour.
This interview made me cry I won't lie. Resonated with some of the experiences he went through as a kid. All the best Bonga 💪🏼. God has already blessed you. I wish I could help.
This is out of this world. What humbles me is his humility and love for God. He is just a man of peace and he had lived it his entire life. I wish I could meet him. May God do what He can only do for his son Bongi. He is blessed beyond measure. Watch the space. Sending my love all the way from Botswana.
It's the fact that he's gone through so much, but every time I see Bonga he wears a smile on his face🥺❤.
I go to UJ and I've had countless encounters with him... a very nice guy.
Nami ngiyamazi 😂😂😂his been at it sukela kudala
I also saw him around UJ
Yeah, He was always loud and energetic when I saw him there
@@Rocky_Montana.X2 hee nda. APk
True at APK campus
I been going through comments and testimonials of people that have bumped into Bongs ,what amazes me above all the circumstances he been through.He never turned to crime ,drugs or robbing people but carries his dreams and hopes of making it through one day .l am blown by the mental strength,intelligence and character Bongani deplays .May grace locate him and brother Nkululeko how do we assist towards his basic needs ?
I am tearing up.
Me too
I amd truly blessed aswel, there must surely be a God up there indeed, im so inspired like deeply, i 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏
God bless your soul Bonga! I have learnt a lot from this interview. We tend to judge people without understanding their circumstances. I pray that your dreams come to fruition and that your life changes for the better so that you can help others who are in similar situations and may not be in a position to articulate their stories in the manner you can. You are a blessing to many. The comments on this thread are testimony that God is living in you. You are love! Your time is near. Thank you for sharing your story so boldly and openly. Truly touching ❤️🙏
I mean, heroine is a drug. Kodwa asiskho lapho, he got a job!🥳
I'm glad I finally came across this. Please give Bonga what he deserves.
Nkulu that chair you sitting on wait , the God whom we serve is going to uplift to the higher mountains , you will run a big company to support other companies with workers you are doing agreat job, you are born a leader .
Radio personality and voice-overs…..I could listen to this guy whole day.❤😊
Women must be very careful about who they introduce to their kids, this guy is gifted, unfortunately things went south for him
This is something beyond intelligence..it breaks me u know 🥺he can act ..he can be a good presenter..his voice n english..i love this man♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️he inspires many
This guy would make a good literature teacher yo 🔥 I send my love and blessings from Malawi 🇲🇼
Bonga is one hell of an intelligent being. He is so intelligent in all departments. Even under his circumstances, I can assure you that he is serving his purpose. Gods Work!!! We love you Bomga🥲❤
Let's fun raise to this guy 👦 I personally don't wanna see him struggling but we can make this guy an entrepreneur with his brilliancy
Literally! We should start a hashtag and get it moving. Social media is powerful
From USA 🇺🇸 here, very touched by the story of this guy. Is there a way we can assist? Please share with us the link on how we can assist him. Thank you.
Also wish to assist him

Eloquent in speech. Intellectual of note not necessarily adorned with academic qualifications. I believe his voice and wit are his assets. He must push hard and he'll definitely pull through ❤❤❤
He has a broad cerebral 😂
It irks me that SABC is mere minutes away from the robots where this brother dwells… we’re sleeping in raw talent! Dankie Nkululeko
This guy is smart. Hope someone out there reaches out to him with an opportunity that will change his life
Are you saying only smart people deserve to be helped?
@@sinethembagwebu1244 😂😂😂
@@sinethembagwebu1244 everyone deserves to be help but this guy is more kind and he assist other people. He loves people, he doesn't even steal from anyone. He's not into drug/nyaope even if he gets help is not like he gonna return back to streets just like others.
A genius I've never seen. May God bless you. Your young brother from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼.
Let him write his matric surely he may get all distinctions.so eloquent, intelligent with compelling charm which inspires devotion to others🔥🔥🔥🔥Salute Grootmane👊what a charismatic figure with great appeal to the public and so influential🔥🔥👌BONGA.
I dont think with our form of education thats possible.
I love how Nkululeko is being genuinely human and not just a "journalist" with Bonga. Especially with the context of this interview
This must be one of the most iconic interview ever‼
Can someone give Bonga his own show. Begging all the way from Belgium.
Supported
I'm actually bowling right now. I love this guy. I'm so glad finally someone with the power to do so finally is getting him all the help he needs. Thank you Nkululeko ❤️🙌
I saw this guy at of the @CMTV show and i was impressed on how well spoken he is. Well done Nkululeko. I wish someone can help him out.
This is so far the best interview I watched this year. I never watched this podcast and now I'm hoping to be a resident. Thank you for brining Bonga and I hope after this, his life change. This guy is super smart to be on the street, he could teach or broadcast damn I'm both sad and inspired, love him and his intelligence and humor
🖇
His lively and free spirited person I love him too.. and yes his too smart to be homeless... He is a full package of streetwise and booksmart iyoo
May God bless this man in all corners of life and give him his hearts desires.....
He is smart and genius.. viva Bonga Sithole
Oh I love you Bonga, he made me cry 😭what a talent Nkosiyam. God bless him LORD 😭😭
The way he articulates himself 😭😭😭😭 , how he words his emotions i’m in awe… i am so glad i bumped into this interview ❤❤❤
this dude is educated, hearing his story is overwhelming since we see him almost everyday at campus square
This guy is the definition of cognitive intelligence, we cannot manage to lose such a specimen of a being to the streets those who have few let's compensate him for his intelligent in this podcast.
Wow, what a breathtaking interview Nkululeko. Thank you for the exposure to such a brilliant being OMG. I specifically want to apologize for jumping into conclusion each time I see a street dweller and wanting nothing that would associate myself with any of them. Kanti jonga ngoku things I have learned from Bonga, yhooooooo, I am truly humbled and I hope I will get to meet with him in person one day as I think he deems fit to motivate our children, our future generation. I cannot wait to see him back on your platform with more good news from here.
One more thing, I was wondering how to trace him, should one think of doing little something for him just to appreciate our African Child?
The mix of the non-english language got me lost but i still had the urge to keep listening to his story.
Much love from +254 - Kenya 🇰🇪 East Africa 🌍.
His IQ and level of intellect WOW as a graduate hay shame I can never be compared to him... May God open doors that no man can close on his life
Amen to that ..
Lol, I love your honesty
He really needs to write matric I believe he can make it even better
Yes.. We went to school, but we are not intelligent
As a graduate, okay graduate 😂😂😂
"Embracing his grace because i'm a profound believer..."
While others will be able to help him financially, we'll keep him in our prayers because it honestly doesn't add up that a man of such intellect can be at the streets.
What a great interview Nkululeko, I like how you try to show us how smart and intelligent Bonga is you actually brought out his skills and showed us he is employable and up to date with whats happening in the world. I honestly thought he is just throwing around English terms, But the guy is truly an inspiration. They can use him for literature ads and programs to show kids that books are important. Even for ECD programs, the guys early learning foundation clearly played an important role in his love for books and he carries that with pride. Someone needs to to help please 🙏.
